IIRC The current death benefit under SS is $250 which will pay to drive to the post office and stop mail delivery!

Actually - it's a better idea than what we have now!!!!

Be careful not to break your arm as you pat yourself on the back.

Why not term life for $250,000?

Whole life is a scam. Anyone who buys a whole life policy is a supreme idiot.

If it were paid to government via a tax it would be!

It's the spending and cash flow, not the insurance that is demanded by Washington!

Remember Hillary’s idea of a baby bond. There is nothing these guys won’t do if they think it can be used to boost their political power.

How about we force the Federal Government to STFU?

Stop The Federal Usurpation. Federal usurpation of individual state rights continues to erode and to limit the ability of state governments to operate according to their own citizen’s directives. Since, as the original intent of the Constitution directed, the best government is one which governs closer to the people and Federal Usurpation is the greatest threat we face today, it is time to tell Washington to STFU.

Essentially this already happens in almost every situation where you die young:

You stay single and work until age 35, then die in an accident. If you made on average $50,000 for 10 years, you and your employer paid in about $75,000 and nobody gets it.

I’d mulled that one over years ago.

Compulsory life insurance would do ‘society’ much more than any of this health care reform.

Not that I’m advocating government enforced life insurance just that it would eliminate or reduce so many problems that short sighted people leave for their families.

I find it interesting how the dimoKKKRATS use the “Commerce Clause” to widen the federal governments authority. I never see them bring up the Constitution except when it is their free speech. IMHO the Commerce Clause does not trump the Constitution.

Some corporations do this without the employee’s knowledge or consent. It’s called ‘Dead Peasants’ Insurance Policies.

Let's also force Americans to purchase "Legal Insurance" to ward off greedy lawyers trying to clean up with law suites of all kinds.

Legal Insurance would also prevent these greedy lawyers from overcharging and filing frivolous suits intended to harm innocent people merely to line their own pockets with untold millions - rarely giving those whom they claim have been "harmed" by this and that.

Does the money actually ever reach the poor individual? NO. Legal Insurance would prevent this atrocity once and for all.

Legal Insurance would also prevent more people from becoming lawyers as there are far too many now to "represent" the American population.

While we're at it, let's stop all of those greedy, dishonest lawyers from running for government offices, staying there for decades and then demanding pensions and free healthcare for themselves and their families forever!!!

Legal Insurance would prevent this as those greedy lawyers would also be prevented from gathering enough money to run for an office because we could control just how much lawyers earn and prevent them from overcharging to become wealthy.

Legal Insurance would put an end to lawyers at all levels of society, they need only to be "public servants" never earning more than those they represent!

Next we will be forced to buy a new UAW/Government Motors care every three years. You will be required to trade in the old one so they can junk it. It will be illegal to drive a vehicle over three years old, so there will be no used vehicle market. The only vehicles you will be allowed to purchase will be ones made by the UAW.

Because life insurance isn’t taxable.

I have a better idea, it should be one million payable to the US government then when we are denied the health care we need and die sooner they can pay off the debt incurred for out nonexistent health care.

Why not avoid unnecessary purchases, become more self-sufficient and shut the whole racket down?
